Video: Kendrick Lamar, “Backseat Freestyle”

Kendrick Lamar visits Paris to deliver his boast—I pray my dick gets big as the Eiffel Tower/ So I can fuck the world for 72 hours—in the new video for Hit-Boy-produced "Backseat Freestyle." The clip, co-directed by Jerome D, Dave Free and Lamar himself, also casts a booty-blessed woman in the role of Sherane, the recurring character from Kendrick's good kid, m.A.A.d city. A publicist confirms the video is not the short, album-accompanying film Lamar recently discussed with GQ. "[I'm] directing for sure," he said of the upcoming film. "I haven't really though about starring in it…I can, because it is me and my life."
